While your Windows 10 support is supposed to formally run out as of October 2025, be aware that this is pertinent only to those who are running the most current version.
If you are still running an earlier version (20H2) of Windows 10 and fail to update to this version by next May 10, from what I have read you will no longer be able to update your Windows 10 OS at all. Leaving you completely to vulnerable from a security perspective, where third-party programs won't be able to fill such a gap.
Windows 10, version 20H2 end of servicing - Microsoft Lifecycle
I kind of cringed at the idea of a forced version update, but clearly we have no choice in the big picture. The good news (at least for me) was that doing such a comprehensive update from version 1904 seems to be running just fine, even accommodating my "Open Shell" custom menus.
